Re - install xp os leaving old registry entries

I had to reinstall xp home edition repeatedly and want to know how to clean the old entries registry of the operating system (?), or what?

The OS (?) screen still shows 2 to choose at boot.
I just let it start to the first option, but wonder if I have a lot more junk left, which can be cleaned.
TY for any help.

When you reinstall Windows correctly, she starts by formatting the drive. The whole registry and everything on the drive will be gone. A correct reinstallation is made, not by armel Windows, but by booting from the CD/DVD instatlation.

If this isn't what you've been through, you have made incorrect installation, so please tell us exactly how you did it.

  • SQL Server Express of 2014 will not remove registry entries when uninstalling

    Hello

    I am responsible for the routine installation of our products in our society. We used to install SQL Server 2008 Express with our facility. We also checked the registry entries to detect if the SQL Server 2008 Express to a specific instance has been installed. When we run the uninstall for our program, we have also uninstalled auf instance. If it was the only forum wihtin SQL Server SQL Server hole has been uninstalled. This works as expected.

    Now, we want to implement the 2014 of SQL Server Express. The installation is successful and everything is working properly. But when we uninstall SQL Server 2014 leaves a large number of entries in the registry. In particular, the entry for the version number:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\SQLServer2014\\CurrentVersion\Version

    This makes it difficult to detect if SQL Server 2014 is installed on the system, because SQL Server 2008 uninstall these entries when deleted as expected. OK I can check some folders and files, if they are available, but this does not seem the right way.

    Is this a bug, or are there reasons why the registry entries are not removed after uninstalling?

    Kind regards

  • Registry entry to force the installation of the updates of the player?

    Greetings!

    I tried to deploy updates to the reader through our network via GPO, but it has been a real, real problem. In addition, because some client computers are connected through slow links at the time of installation is sometimes excruciatingly long (configured computer GPO).

    SMS is not an option right now, so I think that rather than use GPOS to manage centrally the drive updates I lower my arms and leave the choice to the users. So my question is if there is some sort of a registry setting which will force the Player updates to install once they are downloaded from the Internet. Or, Alternatively, if it is a kind of login script available which would check if there's a player update available for installation and install it by force. Or, Alternatively, if anyone has found a better way to deal with the nightmare of the Reader GPO deployment.

    Hello

    Well, as you said, GPO would have been the best option to update through a corporate network. You can view the guide at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf. It can give you some more tips on how to maybe change your settings in order to ensure a quick installation.

    As your second question, you can use the option "Install updates automatically" for the Player update, which automatically installs updates as and when it downloads everything. The registry entry to set the same is as below:

    Before Reader 10.1:

    [HKLM] \Software\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM\

    Name: iCheck (DWORD)

    Value: 3

    Post Reader 10.1:

    [HKLM] \Software\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM\

    Name: iCheckReader (DWORD)

    Value: 3

    You can set the same using a script for connection via GPO. This will ensure that all as updates and available will settle as soon as its downloaded, provided no process of the drive is running at this time here.

    For more details on all the configurations on update preferences, please see the following document:

  • Are pre-existing registry entries overwritten by the installer?

    I was wondering what happens when creating a distribution installer that creates registry keys, but keys already exist on the target computer when the Setup program is run.  Change the keys to existing registry or the installer will skip them?

    Thank you.

    I think that they get too wrote.

    You do not get file or revision based on components with the CVI distribution Publisher: If the version of the installation is more recent than what was last used to install the application, it will overwrite everything in the distribution, even if later versions of the separate elements are present on the target.

    Distribution tools more efficient (for example InstllShield) can you give the desired probably behavior.

    I don't think the individual registry entries to wear a version on them: common practice is to use a different set of registry values for a more recent demand, not revised version of the keys and values.

    Question: Is there a similar registry entry that will force Windows XP , Vista or 7 updates to day doing the same thing, instead of the version of GDR files, it installs the version of LDR branch?

    Hello

    you are also a member of phpcs.com. Cluberti answered present year last for Vista/7. You must extract the cab and use pkgmgr.exe to install the update_bf.mum (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=136644).

    For XP, you must use the /B switch (/ b:SP3QFE), if you want to force the Installation of the hotfix QFE version.

  • Connection Manager profile registry entry

    Hello

    On my WIN XP SP3, I found a Profile Manager HKCR\Connection registry entry. Its subkeys Shell\Open\Command points to a file CMMGR32. EXE in the System32 folder, but the file does not exist there.

    My questions are:

    What is the use of this article?

    What happens if I delete this entry?

    This key is tied to a Windows component that is not installed on my system?

    How can we determine the validity of these keys?

    Thank you best regards &,.

    What is the use of this article?

    It seems that the connection manager has been a feature of people into their custom in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP applications:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778989 (WS.10) .aspx

    More that likely the exe is installed with custom applications.

    Note: This key is not in Windows 7.

    What happens if I delete this entry?

    I tested in a Virtual Machine and that you are having problems. You wouldn't see Remove me these keys on my main box, as if this was not necessary it would not included by default in the operating system.

    This key is tied to a Windows component that is not installed on my system?

    Nope, it comes standard with every installation of Windows XP.

    How can we determine the validity of these keys?

    I don't know of any database that contains a list of all the keys in registry and their validity. Given the magnitude of such a basis, I doubt there are (but if we don't I'm sure someone in the community probably knows him).

    I briefly mentioned above, but I want to reiterate that I do not recommend 'house cleaning' in the registry. Do such causes far more problems than it solves. It is important to keep in mind that several registry keys are in place that for compatibility reasons (this key is a perfect example). Deleting these keys does not cause immediate problems now but could hurt you later on the road.

    If you want to experiment with the familiar registry keys deleting, I highly recommend the creation of a virtual machine with Virtual PC and allowing disks of cancellations.
